Change Text Preferences

hello

 

i have method changes text in text frame wish change first instance finds. @ moment changes finds.

 

is there prefernce setting changetextpreference.butjustthefirstonematey

 

or equivalent?

 

many thanks

 

mark.

 

please ignore c# , 'pretend' it's javascript.

 

               private void changetextframetext(document doc, textframe targettextframe, string changetext, string changeto)

                {

 

                    application indesignapp = (application)doc.parent;

                    indesignapp.findtextpreferences = idnothingenum.idnothing;

                    indesignapp.changetextpreferences = idnothingenum.idnothing;

 

                    findtextpreference ftp = (findtextpreference)indesignapp.findtextpreferences;

                    ftp.findwhat = changetext;

 

                    changetextpreference ctp = (changetextpreference)indesignapp.changetextpreferences;

                    ctp.changeto = changeto;

 

                    findchangetextoption fcto = (findchangetextoption)indesignapp.findchangetextoptions;

 

                    fcto.casesensitive = false;

                    fcto.includefootnotes = false;

                    fcto.includehiddenlayers = false;

                    fcto.includelockedlayersforfind = false;

                    fcto.includelockedstoriesforfind = false;

                    fcto.includemasterpages = false;

                    fcto.wholeword = false;

 

                    objects o = targettextframe.parentstory.changetext(false);

                    indesignapp.findtextpreferences = idnothingenum.idnothing;

                    indesignapp.changetextpreferences = idnothingenum.idnothing;

 

          }

i don't think there prefrence like  "changetextpreference.butjustthefirstonematey"

 

as per opinion replace code

 

objects o = targettextframe.parentstory.changetext(false);

 

with this

 

objects o = targettextframe.parentstory.findtext();

 

and list of array in o , replace o[0] output.
